    Where do you live? You could argue that many of us don't live within an hour or so of any airport, but except for those who live in really remote and isolated areas I think most of the population could get to one of the main airports within 2 hours

    I suspect that may depend on your definition of "main airports" as well as your definition of "really remote and isolated" ;)
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Gatwick, Stanstead, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, but also smaller airports like Edinburgh, Newcastle, Doncaster, Leeds/Bradford, Liverpool, East Midlands, Cardiff, Bristol, Luton, personally I think the OP is going about it the wrong way, why not just pick a destination or a list of destinations and then check if there are flights from the closest airports, all the airports I've listed will cover most short haul destinations, many handling worldwide destinations. I was responding to the 'Not everyone lives within an hour of London' comment which I thought was pointless as there are other large airports outside the home counties, Manchester being one of them.

    Surely you decide where to go first, not the airport you want to fly from ? I quite happily fly from airports that aren't near me as it's quite often the cheaper option.
